About Cinesuonando Under the Stars

Cinesuonando Sotto le Stelle is the summer open-air cinema series of the Municipality of Trecastelli, in the hinterland of the province of Ancona. Six free evenings, from late June to early August, bring the big screen to the squares, parks, and multi-purpose courts of as many hamlets in the area: Brugnetto, Castel Colonna, Ripe, Passo Ripe, Monterado, and Ponte Rio. A program designed for families and children, featuring animated films and major titles for everyone, under the starry sky of the Marche hills.

The open-air cinema that travels through the villages of Trecastelli

With the arrival of summer, the Municipality of Trecastelli (province of Ancona, Marche) lights up its outdoor screens with Cinesuonando Sotto le Stelle, the cinema under the stars series that animates the evenings of June, July, and August each year. The formula is what has made the event successful: no single venue, but a traveling cinema that moves from hamlet to hamlet, bringing screenings to the heart of the local communities.

A series spread across six hamlets

Trecastelli was formed in 2014 from the merger of the municipalities of Ripe, Monterado, and Castel Colonna, and this plural identity is reflected in the very spirit of the series. Each evening takes place in a different hamlet, transforming squares, parks, and multi-purpose courts into open-air arenas: Brugnetto, Castel Colonna, Ripe, Passo Ripe, Monterado, and Ponte Rio. It's a way to enhance every corner of the Municipality and to offer all residents, even those in the smallest locations, the chance to gather under the same sky.

A program for families and children

The film selection favors animated cinema and major titles for all ages, with particular attention to younger audiences. Between comedies, adventures, and recent family cinema classics, the evenings become an anticipated event for local families and for those spending the summer in the hills of the Ancona hinterland. Admission is always free.

Trecastelli in Summer

Cinesuonando Sotto le Stelle is the heart of the Municipality's summer program, which also includes concerts, theater performances, exhibitions, and creative workshops for children distributed throughout the season. The series is promoted by the Trecastelli Municipal Administration and the Department of Culture, with the support of local associations. For visitors, it's the perfect opportunity to discover the villages of the Val Misa and Val Nevola, a few kilometers from the coast of Senigallia.
